Second week in January is what I'm hearing but don't know if that's midweek or weekend yet.

For once I'd rather it was midweek.

If you hear from yer boy who apparently dislikes the Pope and the ira according to the song let me know mate

Will do mate, no doubt text you first but I'll post it soon as it's confirmed.

I would imagine they'll need to know soon, so they don't book any holidays during the winter break.

Maybe a wee bit less due to time of year mate.

Wonder if travel club will count or if it will just be for ST holders

Anybody find any decent flight routes?

Berlin, Both Easyjet and Ryanair fly direct from Glasgow and have a bit of a price war on the route

[AlCapone 3,114]

I was in Leipzig in 1987, was 6p a pint

[plumbGER 1,571]

2nd week in January would be ideal for me.

At that price for flights it's worth a shout, can't imagine hotels being dear.

Reckon they would give us as many tickets as we want/need. Their ground holds over 40000.

Prices better midweek.

Am off then too 🍻🍻🍻

Can anyone explain why Leipzig are so disliked ? I,ve heard this previously but never heard the reasons behind it.

Have they not been franchised or something and a fifth division side bought by red bull or something and therefor been bankrolled to their success . Like a more successful and sustainable version of Gretna

[cr3_bear 2,261]

I am guessing a lot of their support is probably made up of glory hunters aswell giving their short time around yet can attract 40,000 crowds . That probably annoys the more traditional fans in Germany aswell .

Thanks CR3, that's shed some light on it, I was wondering if it had anything to do with being part of the old East Germany.

Leipzig have some of the best young players in Germnay and are second in the Bundesliga as well as being loaded, would be a good club to develop an alliance with so to speak.
